Ying Zhenzhen, dressed in plain clothes, rushed over and knelt before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding here! Please spare my mother's life!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes when he saw Ying Zhenzhen.
"Ying Zhaoyi, the house arrest order I placed on you hasn't been lifted yet, and you actually dared to leave the palace without permission, or even leave the Imperial Palace!
Now you dare to come and beg for mercy from me! You are so brave! "
Ying Zhenzhen's eyelids twitched, but she tried to remain calm and explain, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am concerned about my mother and cannot wait in the palace any longer.
Your Majesty, please forgive my mother. There must be a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?" The emperor sneered, "Your mother pushed Xixi to the ground. Everyone present witnessed it with their own eyes. What misunderstanding is there?
That’s enough. You don’t need to say anything more. I haven’t settled the score with you about your affair with the guard yet!
Someone, take the Ying family mistress away, throw her in jail, and have her torn apart by five horses someday!
Bring Ying Zhaoyi back to the palace and banish her to the cold palace!"
After the emperor finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and went into the house.
The emperor's statement that Ying Zhenzhen had an affair with a guard shocked everyone present.
"No! Your Majesty! I have done nothing to offend you! Your Majesty, haven't you already investigated everything clearly?"
Ying Zhenzhen shouted, but was quickly pulled away by the guards.
Ying Yongliang watched his wife and daughter being taken away by the guards, and looked towards the room where Ying Xixi was with a complicated expression.
In the room, Ying Xixi was lying on the bed, her face pale, her eyes red, and she was crying in the emperor's arms.
The emperor felt very distressed and kept comforting her.
"Xixi, we will have children. Stop crying. I will teach those who bully you a lesson."
Ying Xixi sniffed, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault that I didn't protect our child. If I had been able to stand firmer when the mistress pushed me, I might not have fallen to the ground, and the child wouldn't have died. It's all my fault."
"How can I blame you for this, Xixi? I don't blame you. It's my fault for not protecting you well."
"Your Majesty, how do you intend to deal with the mistress? Also, I seemed to hear my eldest sister's voice just now. Is she here too?"
Ying Xixi's weak appearance made the emperor hate Lin Yiqiu even more, and he even hated her daughter Ying Zhenzhen as well.
"Mrs. Ying is plotting to murder the heir to the throne and accusing you of faking your pregnancy. I cannot forgive her so easily.
I order her to be torn into pieces! And Ying Zhenzhen, who ignored my house arrest order and ran from the palace to beg for mercy for her mother, I order her to be banished to the cold palace.
Don't worry, Xixi, no one will bully you anymore!"
The emperor spoke in a decisive tone.
Ying Xixi bit her lower lip, looking a little hesitant. "Your Majesty, my father loves my mistress the most. If my father comes to me and asks me to help you beg for mercy, will I agree?"
The emperor sighed, "Xixi, you are too kind. Those who have hurt you deserve to die.
But you are right, Lord Ying will probably come to you for help and beg for mercy.
I won't make things difficult for you. Come, let Mr. Ying in."
Ying Yongliang came in with his head lowered and bowed, while wondering what the emperor wanted to say to him.
"Father, do you want me to help you plead with the Emperor? Ask him not to sentence the mistress to death, and ask him not to banish my eldest sister to the cold palace."
Ying Xixi asked directly without getting straight to the point.
This made Ying Yongliang confused for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Ying Xixi to ask directly in front of the emperor.
Ying Yongliang answered carefully, "Xixi, if you are asking me this as my daughter, I would naturally want you to help plead with the Emperor.
Dad knows that I am not a competent father. Dad does not ask for your forgiveness. You can do whatever you want to your stepmother, but please spare her life."
The emperor couldn't stand it any longer and said sarcastically, "Sir Ying, if you are old and your memory is not good, I can remind you.
Today, your wife killed your unborn son! She also killed my heir!
She alone killed two lives, so it is only right that I take her life to pay for it!
Even if I wanted to execute the entire Ying family to pay for the life of my heir, no one would dare to say no!
Don't take advantage of Xixi's kindness and bully her in front of me!"
Ying Yongliang knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, this is not what I meant, your Majesty, your Majesty..."
Ying Yongliang's mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to say.
He did hate Lin Yi Qiu for killing his unborn child, but he had never thought of letting her die.
Ying Xixi cast a cold gaze on Ying Yongliang, "Father, do you know why you only have two daughters, Ying Zhenzhen and me, for all these years?
Do you know why you have so many concubines, but your mistress hates my mother so much?"
Ying Yongliang looked up and met Ying Xixi's emotionless eyes. His lips trembled, and he felt fear for what Ying Xixi had not yet said.
"Because the mistress would give every concubine a contraceptive drug to drink when they entered the mansion, and she would also give them sachets filled with contraceptive drug to wear every day.
So even if you, father, have many concubines, none of them can get pregnant.
My mother was the only concubine who became pregnant and gave birth to a child successfully, and she was also a maid who had served the mistress.
The mistress naturally hates my mother to the core!"
Ying Xixi spoke the truth calmly, and felt very happy as she watched Ying Yongliang's face gradually turn pale.
"Oh, by the way, father, you actually had a son before. One of your concubines was lucky enough not to drink the contraceptive medicine given by the mistress, and she also got pregnant.
But the mistress found out about this, and she secretly ordered people to throw the concubine into the pond in the mansion, creating the illusion that she had drowned, leaving her with two bodies!
Later, the mistress discovered that the concubine was actually pregnant with a boy. She was even more glad that she had acted decisively, and she also became more wary of other concubines getting pregnant.
Maybe because she has done too many bad things, the mistress has never been pregnant in all these years.
This time my mother was pregnant, and the mistress naturally found out, but she was a little afraid of me entering the palace and gaining the emperor's favor.
He didn't dare to attack my mother directly, so he wanted to beat and scold her so that she would have an abortion herself.
I didn't expect that she was so harsh that she caused my mother to have a miscarriage.
Father, do you really want to plead for such a jealous woman and let her live to continue killing your future offspring?"
Ying Xixi's words were like sharp knives, stabbing Ying Yongliang's heart again and again.
He remembered it too.
Many years ago, a concubine did fall into a pond and drowned...
